Fresh Market is turning its attention to the inside of its new store under construction in the Riverside-Brooklyn area.

The city approved the build-out Tuesday for Fresh Market at the new Shoppes on Riverside.

Fresh Market will renovate the interior of the shell structure at 211 Riverside Ave. at a project cost of $772,600. J. Raymond Construction Corp. is the contractor for the 25,267-square-foot project.
